However, Sheen noted that "the fantasy is walking up and dropping him, but that's not who I am. It's not who I am. You know, I'm not a violent guy."

"Do you harbor resentment toward him?" asked Morgan.

"I just wish that he would acknowledge, at some point, that he had a hand in it. He did put out a statement. The timing was perfect for him, actually, because nothing is organic. It's always a little bit manufactured."

Sheen also admitted that there are "parts" of Lorre that he misses.

"When I look back at the pilot of 'Two and a Half,' it was an absolute gem. And I almost agreed to do that show based on his enthusiasm and his track record without seeing a script. And what I said to him, 'What are you going to call it?' And when he said, "Two and a Half Men," I knew it was a hit."

Sheen's opinion on the show, post his own departure, has changed.

"They downloaded their anchor," he said. "They cut off their anchor and they went adrift. And I think you don't realize how important your anchor is until you don't have it, you know."

Morgan asked Sheen to elaborate on how he feels about his "Two and a Half Men" replacement, Ashton Kutcher.

"He's a terrific young man and he's doing a great job with what they've given him ... he should be really grateful... "

The pair were set to work together on "Scary Movie 5" and, according to Sheen, producers gave Lohan $100,000 less than what he thought she was going to be paid, so the actor simply made up the difference.

"And was she grateful?" asked Morgan.

"Eventually, yes, absolutely. She was. Yes... It wasn't like right off the bat, though."

Morgan noted that Lohan similarly underwent a pattern of drug and alcohol abuse not unlike Sheen's.

"Can you actually, even you, give somebody like that advice?" asked Morgan. "Or is it, in the end, the look in the mirror and work it out for yourself?"

"If she'd asked me questions about some of my own stuff," said Sheen, "I would have gladly given her advice but she didn't. And I found that interesting. Maybe she didn't want to bother me or didn't want to pry."

Sheen expanded on the demons associated with fame, drugs and excess.

"It's a similar garment that we're all wearing, yes," he said. "I think fame has a lot to do with it and I think excess has a lot to do with it... not so much excess but access -- access to anything with a phone call at any point, day or night, it doesn't matter... It can become a nightmare ... At first ... it's radical and it's everything that you thought it was going to be ... and then it's not. And that turns on a dime. And suddenly there's an emptiness."

Sheen, 47, who has largely toned down his hard-partying ways, will become a grandfather this year. His 28-year-old daughter from a previous relationship is due to give birth in September.

"I knew it was going to happen eventually," said Sheen, "... but I didn't know it would be this soon and it's none of my business when she chose to do that, you know. So I've just got to be along for the ride and celebrating and just cheering her along and giving her whatever she needs."

Sheen had four other children: Two girls with ex-wife Denise Richards and twin boys with ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

"I put everybody in my neighborhood, which is my ultimate master plan," said Sheen. "I put Denise and the girls in one house, Brooke and the boys in the other, and we're all behind the same gate."

Sheen said his ex-wives get along great and babysit one another's children.

"It is pretty civilized," he said. "We just keep everybody paid and they'll be happy."

Morgan asked Sheen what bit of advice he would pass along to his two sons.
